About Tabletop Tavern
Tabletop Tavern is a single‑player strategy title where you command troops in real‑time battles that feel like a living tabletop wargame. Each campaign run is a roguelike adventure, offering random encounters, scaling difficulty, and permanent upgrades that reshape your tactics.
Choose from diverse factions—Vikings, Orcs, Elves, Humans, Dwarves, and more—each with distinct abilities that influence army composition and battlefield decisions. Between fights you manage your roster, recruit heroes, and make strategic choices that affect future encounters.

Real‑Time Battlefield
Battles occur in real time, requiring careful positioning, timing, and synergy to succeed. Form spear walls to counter cavalry, protect archers from flanking, and use terrain for advantage. Encounters range from small skirmishes to massive clashes with hundreds of units on screen.
Every encounter tests strategic instincts, as you must adapt to enemy movements and terrain features. Success depends on how well you coordinate unit types and respond to dynamic combat situations.
- Place spearmen in front of cavalry to block charges.
- Use high ground to increase ranged unit effectiveness.
